Dear Ms. Lawrence:
On October 22, 2007, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application dated October 17,
2007 for the above referenced project. DWQ will place this project on hold as incomplete until we
receive this additional information and/or fee. Please provide the following so that we may continue to
review your project.
Additional Information Requested:
The fee for applications is $240 for projects impacting less than an acre of wetland and less than 150
linear feet of streams (whether intermittent or perennial). For projects impacting one or more acres of
wetland or 150 or more feet of streams (whether intermittent or perennial) the fee is $570.
Important notice: 401 Certification/Isolated Wetlands Permits Fee Increase -The North Carolina General
Assembly approved an increase for application fees for all regulatory programs administered by DWQ,
effective July 1, 2007. However, please note that this does not mean that the increased application fees
for the 401 Certification/Isolated Wetlands Permit Programs will be retro-active to July 1, 2007. The
Director of DWQ has determined that the fee increase will specifically become effective for the 401
Program on September 1, 2007. All applications received by the 401 Unit in Raleigh by close of business
on Friday, August 31, 2007, will be accepted under tie old fee schedule. All applications received as of
September 1, 2007 will be subject to°the new fee schedule.
The correct fee to remit is $240 made out to The Division of Water Quality (DWQ).
Please contact the DWQ within three weeks of the date of this letter to verify that you have received this
letter and that you remain interested in continuing to pursue permitting of your project and will be
providing the DWQ the requested information at a later date. Please contact this office in writing. If we
